It fights alongside the three watchers (Watcher-A, Watcher-S, and Watcher-R). It is highly advised to destroy the Watchers as quickly as possible to avoid having abilities locked. The Machina Panzer itself is a strong enemy, but using Protect will go a long way in reducing the damage it can do. It is good to keep several Mega-Potions and Phoenix Downs on hand for the times a party member is KO'd, as its Sorcery Beam is extremely powerful. High-powered attacks such as Excalibur and Black Sky bring it down quickly.
